They went to remove the talibans and left the country with the talibans again because "that's what they wanted"? So... don't fucking attack them then? You know... start being the ~~child rapist~~ president of peace? Stop meddling with other countries and worry about your own?
I guess it's easier to have the country talking about a coup than have it talking about the Epstein-Trump files where the Mango Hitler appears as a serial child rapist and about the insurances premiums skyrocketing...
they went to afghanistan as it was a hot spot for terrorists in particular the taliban and al’queda had training camps there for the terrorists who did 9/11
the usa attempted to turn the country into a democracy and move the country beyond being a 3rd world hole but because afghani’s are largely tribal goat herding muslims who have no care for a “state of afghanistan” (or women) the plan failed and the taliban who are largely violent islamic fundamentalists got back in power with little resistance from the locals … who just wanted to go back to hating women and tending to their goats
similar in iraq
generally the people of a country get what they want, i can see in iran there is a growing consensus that they do not want an islamic regime in power
if the us was to kidnap the supreme leader it would be an amazing opportunity for them to ultimately be free
but it depends on what the citizens of that country are willing to fight for
the best modern example is Russia trying to take over Ukraine (again) and the Ukrainians fighting back, they have help from Europe etc but even if they didn’t they wouldn’t have just sat on their hands, they would be fighting today a guérilla war in kyiv like they have in the past
Both countries, as now Venezuela, "coincidentally" had oil. It's strange tho, every time the US goes to war to "liberate" a country, that country happens to have oil.
Never stuff like... idk... factories where they produce almost everything that's made today and other things like silk, electric cars...
It's always oil...
If we were going to intervene militarily somewhere, the most moral and most likely-to-be-effective choice IMO would be Haiti. It's right next door and is relatively small. They need the Army Corp of Engineers to rebuild infrastructure, and a ton of police action. Establishing a stable government would make a huge improvement in the lives of Hatians.
They don't want Haiti stable, they want them easily exploitable.
huh? did you forget bombing yemen for blocking a straight, bombing iranian nulcear facilities, assisting Israel fighting palestinian terrorists, helping fight terrorists in the philippines, fighting isis, syria, the kurds, helping Ukraine fight Russia, how did you suddenly forget vietnam and ww2?
America is involved in a lot more than just afghanistan and iraq…

Assisting israel in their genocide? Sure, not a good thing to do.
Bombing Iran for enriching uranium? Why don't hey do it with North Korea or Russia then? Right, they are not a threat to the genocide israel is doing in Palestine.
The us is just a terrorist country fucking with half the world.
And don't get me started with ww2 bullshit. They only intervened when the nazis were deemed a problem for them, and it was Russia who pushed the nazis all the way to Berlin.
Not to talk about how the pedopresident has said that he's not helping Ukraine anymore and is pushing for a "deal" that's basically written by Putin.
oh i see, now it’s special circumstances for all the other wars the us is involved in
all good, we can leave it here
Yeah, we better leave it here, it's clear you are an usonian shill, so it's pointless to keep going:
the people of Venezuela are celebrating today, i am happy for them
Some are celebrating. And honestly? That's not really telling of anything. Some people were celebrating Milei and look how's that going. But I digress.
Fact is the us has just kidnapped the head of another state and made it a colony. And all without the authorisation of their own congress.
they seem pretty happy to me

Watch the videos too.
The USA funded and trained the islamacist extremists, bright one.
